Well, I certainly am one of them, and the lottery is my plan for retirement. I mean,
having always taken “the road less traveled” in life, I really have no time left for
anything else to build my nest egg. Truth is, I’m on the nest and there is no egg.
Besides, the lottery helps pay for children’s education, right? I don’t mind giving
the little ingrates sompin-sompin now and then.
But back to the point ... and here comes the boom.
The algorithms that create your lottery quick picks are supposed to select
numbers completely randomly. We count on it. We bet money on it. But I submit
those algorithms are quite often reclining in their office chairs, with their feet on
their desks and cups of coffee in their hands. In this state of do-less, they choose
the easiest route to your quick picks. They often choose the shortest route, which
is not moving at all.
After a couple years of seeing quick pick mega numbers repeat, I decided to
keep photographic evidence and do some calculations. In one recent month,
while purchasing two SuperLotto Plus quick pick games at a time, four purchases
overall ... two of those purchases had the same mega numbers in both games
played! I submit that this is statistical evidence of a LAZY ALGORITHM.
